Good video...


Note that at the end he used magnetic clamps.... but I will tell you what you didn't see was that he didn't weld near them. He would have positioned the clamps so that he could make a quick tack... removed them and finished.


The other thing that's really evident in the video is the CLAMPING... this is not only done to hold the parts - but also to help to control warpage. When I've had friends build things - then come over to figure out "what happened" when their part was out of square or warped beyond use.... They never clamped anything. The other thing you'll find "newbs" do is that they don't tack... We here on Lat G are exposed to lots of tack welding... but many people aren't shown that part and just start welding 'er up. <<buzzer>>
